A post shared by Chad Chronister (@chadchronister) on The Hillsborough Sheriff’s office–the county that plays home to Tampa, Florida–has come under fire over a series of arrests made as part of an undercover operation dubbed Operation Park Cleanup.
At the direction of Sheriff Chad Chronsiter, a sting arrested 11 men in a local park in September on the grounds they had solicited for sex.Arrests took place on September 18 when officers nabbed the men, ages 37 to 76, and charged them with misdemeanors, not felonies.
Nevertheless, the police department released the names and mugshots of the men involved to local media, as well as posted them on social media channels.
